It Was The Winter Of 18--, Between Fifty And Sixty Years Ago. Certainly The Winters Of New England Began Earlier And Were More Severe Than They Have Seemed at A Later Period. After The Fervid Heat Of Summer Has Become Subdued by The Progressive Changes Of The Season, No Atmosphere Could Be Clearer, Purer, More Exhilarating than The Prevailing tone Of Our October Days, And This Kindly Influence, As If By Way Of Preparing the Human Frame For The Gradual Approach Of Winter, Generally Extends, With Occasional Stormy Intermissions, Through November, And Often Very Far Into The Frosty Domain Of December Itself. And Such Snow-Storms As We Once Endured! It May Be Alleged, That Distance Of Time Forbids Accuracy Of Comparison, And That Masses Of Snow, Which Appeared vast To A Child, Would Not Seem So Immense To A Full-Grown Man, And Were Really No More Huge Than Some Of Those With Which Winter Nowadays Envelopes The Ground.

The Cathedral verger, conducting his flock of tourists round the building, while giving them plenty of really interesting and valuable information about it (for the verger of to-day is a different man from his predecessor, and is often very intelligent and well informed), remarks briefly, "The glass is of the thirteenth century"—or fourteenth or fifteenth, as the case may be; the procession gazes carelessly at it, and passes on. Yet from out of that dazzling and glowing labyrinth of coloured jewels a past age is speaking far more articulately, if one stops to unravel the message, than ever in stone or wood, and it is for those who can be induced to take that second look which will be followed by a third and a fourth and many more that I have written this book.
